President in effect endorses ethnic cleansing of territory before hosting meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu

Donald Trump has said that Palestinians have “no alternative” but to leave Gaza due to the devastation left by Israel’s war on Hamas, in effect endorsing ethnic cleansing of the territory over the opposition of Palestinians and the neighbouring countries.

Speaking as he prepared to host Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Tuesday, Trump repeated the suggestion that Gaza’s population should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt – something both countries have firmly rejected.

Trump claimed Palestinians would “love to leave Gaza”, telling reporters: “I would think that they would be thrilled.”

    Your statement is a logical contradiction. The Iron Dome does not activate when the projected path of the rocket does not appear to target civilians

    It does, actually, it performs a triage when it can’t handle a large number of simultaneous projectiles, and of COURSE it’s designed to intercept missiles sent to military targets. What a bizarre claim. You are flat out making things up to support your argument, for god knows what reason.

    Y’all were doing so well being sympathetic

    I’m not Palestinian. I’m an impartial observer of what’s happening, just one who cares more than most of you, enough to sort through disinformation…

    subject of your vote for Trump

    Just flat out lying now. I’m done here.

      Maybe I spoke a bit too fast, if the rocket from Gaza looks like it’s not going to fall on anybody, the Iron Dome does not turn on. So to make the Iron Dome turn on, Gaza has to point the rockets at people. Does that make more sense to you? Your reply doesn’t make sense in this context so I feel like you’re confused.

      Just flat out lying now. I’m done here.

      It’s a two party system, so if you didn’t vote for the loser you effectively voted for the winner. You should be used to logical leaps enough to understand that; if you can vote, your vote matters even if you don’t use it. Not using it is a choice, and choices have consequences.
